Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
It’s been since the summer of 2013 that we’ve seen next-level sleeping on Muni Metro like this. What made you so tired? Oh, never mind. Must’ve been the Cincinnati Reds.
In any case, kudos, sir.

Earlier this week, we posted your top Muni rider pet peeves. That was, of course, merely a snapshot in time.
Without further ado, here are this week’s instances of disturbing and head-shaking behavior on Muni:
First, an oldie but annoying-ie
Dude has his phone on speaker, but still has his phone to his head. #Muni #L2cellphone — @DaneYoshida
Next, we move on to flat-out gross
dude blew his nose in his bare hands and proceeded to wipe them on his jacket sleeves #munidiaries — @LimLam8
Then onto these charming fellow riders
Homeboy: I have a cold, allergies, and I’m high as a kite on NyQuil, but I can STILL smell your cologne. #sfmuni — @MissNatMoore
And onto positively SMH behavior
Woman w/cane berates woman w/baby for sitting in handicap seat. On one hand ok but on the other really? #munidiaries — @ckueda
Lastly, the rainy day #dickmove, indeed
Your umbrella doesn’t need its own seat. #dickmove instagram.com/p/wzFSzWtp3Z/ — @spiegelmama
Things on Muni is a weekly compilation of our favorite tweets from you, the Muni rider. Add your voice to the choir at @MuniDiaries.
The nonprofit who brought us Bay Lights, the neato fantastic LED lights on the Bay Bridge, has set its sights on Market Street, specifically the rail transit vehicles on and below the street.
Curbed SF has the deets:
LightRail, a 2.1-mile-long LED scultpure that would render the movements of underground trains in lights above Market Street, won approval from the Board of Supervisors [Tuesday] in a unanimous vote. Sponsored by Illuminate the Arts, the nonprofit behind the Bay Lights, the sculpture would string 124,000 LEDs above Market, in what the group is calling the world’s first subway-responsive light sculpture. Stretching all the way from the Embarcadero to Van Ness, the lights would reveal the trains’ movements in colored pulses of light, effectively letting everyone on Market peer below ground without ever going under.
Awesome!

Looks like *checks weather page* it might actually *checks weather page* not rain today *checks weather page*. Yep. Maybe a sprinkle, but does that really count?
Perhaps that was what this Muni rider was thinking, or wishfully thinking, carrying her inflatable pool and inflatable palm tree to that manufactured beach in … Glen Park?
In any case, fellow rider Anthony reports: “Inflatable palm tree on the OB J- Church? Where the hell is she going to? A pool party? Idk?”
